I'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?

The small red spots on the inner head of your penis, accompanied by a slight sensation, may be caused by several factors related to oral sex. Here are some possible explanations:
Possible Causes
- Irritation or Allergic Reaction: Your partner's mouth or saliva might have caused irritation or an allergic reaction, leading to red spots and discomfort.
- Cuts or Micro-Trauma: Minor cuts or micro-trauma during oral sex can cause red spots and sensitivity.
- STDs or STIs: Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs), such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea, can cause red spots or sores on the genitals.
- Balanitis: This is an inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infection.
Next Steps
- Consult a Doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, urologist, or a dermatologist to evaluate the red spots and determine the underlying cause.
- Get Tested for STDsSTIs: Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's essential to get tested for STDsSTIs to rule out any potential infections.
- Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good genital hygiene, and avoid any further irritation or trauma to the affected area.
- Abstain from Sexual Activity: Avoid any sexual activity until you've consulted a doctor and received proper guidance.

I understand your concern. The risk of HIV transmission through a small cut on your ear from an infected barber is relatively low. _Risk Assessment_ 1. _HIV transmission_: HIV transmission requires direct contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. The risk of transmission through a small cut on your ear is low. 2. _Hepatitis BC transmission_: Hepatitis BC transmission is more likely than HIV through blood contact. However, the risk is still relatively low. _Precautions and Next Steps_ 1. _Seek medical attention_: Consult a doctor immediately and report the incident. They will assess the risk and provide guidance. 2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: Your doctor may recommend PEP, a medication that can prevent HIV infection if taken within 72 hours of exposure. 3. _Hepatitis BC screening_: Your doctor may recommend screening for hepatitis BC. 4. _Report the incident_: Inform the salon management and local health authorities about the incident. Please prioritize your health and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Hey, I'm dealing with some issues that I think are linked to porn and masturbation. Whenever I engage in sexual activity, I get overly excited, leading to pre-cum and premature ejaculation. The thing is, when it comes to actual sex, I'm not really feeling that emotional connection or excitement, but I still end up ejaculating. Can these problems be permanently resolved? Also, how long would I need to continue taking medication if that's part of the solution?
Regarding your concerns with premature ejaculation (PE) and pre-ejaculatory fluid, consult a urologist or sexologist for personalized guidance; to answer your questions: 1) PE can be effectively managed and treated with a combination of medications, behavioral techniques, and lifestyle changes, offering a potential for long-term improvement or "cure"; 2) the duration of treatment varies depending on individual response, but typically, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), dapoxetine, or topical anesthetics may be prescribed for several months to a year or more, alongside behavioral techniques like the "stop-start" method or pelvic floor exercises.
